  • holding under Georgia law and reaffirming under federal constitutional law that statutory aggravating circumstances need not be included in indictments
  • noting that statutory aggravating circumstances must be regarded as “elements” for purposes of the United States Constitution but holding that they remain merely sentencing factors in matters affecting only Georgia law
  • concluding no condition of proba- tion imposed where “[a]lthough the pre-printed sentencing form provided a list of general and special conditions of probation . . . , the box next to the [relevant] condition was not checked”
  • Entering apartment without a warrant to arrest a probationer was permissible because the probation supervisor had, to his knowledge, reasonable cause for the arrest.
